I come back from school, and look at the "New Posts" count, and I think that it must be a glitch or some shit.
Then I read through 3-4 pages of.... butthurt and trolling and.. fecal matter for some reason.

Anyway, back on topic:

NOOOOOO NO XEL NAGA CAVERNS! THAT WAS A CLASSIC. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHEESE PROTOSS NOW, IF A PROTOSS FFE'S AGAINST ME I LOSE.

125 new posts in just 15 hours? My god, there has to be a new patch released, new info about Hots or maybe some in-depth discussions about mapping, balance or strategies. Nope, just Biotic being a troll.

As far as I see it the latest patch just made mules less amazing on Gold bases, which really needed to be done, and they made Ghosts so they can't just counter every single Zerg tech switch. Although I believe that the damage should still be a tad higher than 25, 30-35 seems more reasonable.

The issue is, those ghosts are needed precisely because they were a soft counter to every zerg tech switch.

Because if you were able to wipe out one zerg attack, the next one would wip you up, because had a hoard of dead value units.

I mean they essentially added a 100% increase to the number of snipes. That's insane. And terran heavy units are still brutally countered templar feedback.

I've got a feeling that TvZ lategame will be almost unplayable after that patch.

6->10 and 11->25 is well an absolutely ludicrous change and will make ghosts far too expensive against anything that's not an infestor in TvZ

This will only get worse thanks to that

Terran has a lack of mobility and answers as well as production issues late game. Sure they can mine out a gold base the fastest, but it won't help much when they can't get units on the field. Ghosts were a pretty micro intensive generalist unit which soft countered stuff and gave terran a chance.

Thank god Infestor/Broodlord is so fast.

Also how is the ghost "ROFL I ACTUALLY DESTROY EVERYTHING IN 2 SECONDS, LITERALLY" unit a soft counter?

Losing streaks are only a good thing, the more you lose, the more you will learn if you study your replays well. When you win you just go on to the next game, and don't really learn that much.

Yeah the only way that losing streaks can get worse is if you start to decline due to the fact that you don't fix your mistakes, for example I began to go Templar Blink Stalker every game against Zerg in a massive losing streak instead of fixing the real problem that I had against Zerg which was scouting (I was afraid of Mutalisks). Because of this I lost more games to Roach/Infestor, Mass Roach, and Roach/Hydra compositions. It was only after I started fixing up my matchup and started following builds, and making my play more aggressive did I start to win.

Snipes take awhile to kill Blords, but its the only thing that lets you approach them safely without fearing infinity fungals or banelings crashing into everything. You needed a near equal amount of resources in Ghosts to beat back Infestor Blord armies. Now it takes twice as long and twice as much energy. Basically Ghosts are invalidated and Terran will get stuck on Marine Tank the entire game which gets ass raped hard by Infestor Blord.
